I went to Taipei to see how people live. I ate where I can find food, I walked until my feet got tired, and smiled with my heart. Places I have been to can be squeezed into 3 days but I did not do that to not miss out on the opportunity of being in the moment and to experience the beauty of being in a new place. Please feel free to ask questions about my itinerary. I would love to help out.
